Open Props is a collection of 500+ CSS custom properties (design tokens) covering colors, gradients, shadows, typography, easings, animations, sizes, borders, z-indexes, and media queries. It is framework-agnostic, incrementally adoptable via CDN, npm, JS modules, or individual prop packs, and includes optional normalize stylesheets.

Use cases

  • use consistent design tokens across a website with css variables
  • add pre-made shadows easings and animations to my css
  • get a design token json file for figma or style dictionary
  • normalize html element styles with light and dark theme support
  • import only the css props I need like colors or gradients
  • make components look consistent without a full css framework

When to choose

  • you want lightweight, non-prescriptive design tokens usable in any framework
  • you need granular prop packs or prefixed/shadow-dom builds
  • you want design tokens exportable to Figma or Style Dictionary

When to avoid

  • you want a full component library with prebuilt UI components
  • you need utility classes rather than CSS custom properties
  • you prefer an opinionated styling system like Tailwind
